Riders in team penning work with their horses’ talent and teammates’ assistance. In each round, three randomly chosen riders must work together to pick out three designated calves out of a larger herd and pen them. The team with the fastest time wins the event.

The teams were required to have four qualifying rides at different events to be eligible to compete in the Farm Show event team penning event.

The Pennsylvania Farm Show is the largest indoor agricultural event in the nation, featuring nearly 6,000 animals, 10,000 competitive exhibits and 285 commercial exhibitors. The show runs Jan. 9-16 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center in Harrisburg. Admission is free and parking is $10. Visit www.farmshow.state.pa.us for details.
